The long anticipated appointment A a Canadian Ambassador at Washington

is expected at an early date, according to Mr. Graham, the Minister of Railways in the Canadian Government. Nothing could better illustrate how far the Dominions have advanced along the path of complete self-government than the fact that Canada will in future be represented at Washington by her own Ambassador. Small wonder that foreigners find difficulty in understanding a political institution which includes within its orbit the Dominion of Canada and, let us say, the island of Ascension.
